The fourth edition provides welcome updates, highlighting the multicultural genealogy of modern science and drawing connections to our current historical moment. With this excellent new edition, Ede and Cormack have cemented A History of Science in Society as an indispensable pedagogical tool."" --Adam Richter, University of Toronto "" A History of Science in Society is an achievement. Well-written and thoughtfully presented, the text is eminently suitable for introductory undergraduate courses in the global history of science and technology."" --Tara Abraham, University of Guelph"
